I wish Nancy Grace had been shot instead of Sean Taylor.

Well, at least they had sense enough not to offer white hoodies.

For example, I had to go to the airport today (there were hot women everywhere!) and the announcer said over the PA "Michael Baker," which made me say in my head "The touchdown maker." Fortunately, I rarely say it out loud.

Thanks for that.

Sorry. If it makes you feel any better, it doesn't happen when I read the name, only when I hear it.

Doctors administered an electrical shock to Vice President Dick Cheney's heart and restored it to a normal rhythm during a 2 1/2 hour hospital visit Monday.

It required 1/2 hour to normalize his heartbeat. The other two hours were spent trying to locate his heart

if we didn't have fingernails, would we all have to carry tiny flathead screwdrivers just in case whatever?

I just alienated this girl from downstairs because she was ragging on Pat Burrell. "What don't you like, the homeruns or RBI's?", stuff like that. This is problematic because there's a baker's dozen of girls in her department I'd like to cozy up to.

My supervisor just quit about six months before I would be qualified (or close enough to qualified) for her job. This BLOWS.

I'd make it clear to those who makes these types of decisions that you want in on that action

Oh, I'm going to broach the subject, and I actually think our Director wishes she would have held out for the same reason, but right now I'm wrapping up the second term of a six term, two year program. If she had waited six more months, I'd be wrapping up my fourth term and could reasonably call my degree "expected." A year and a half away, not so much. Still, they like to hire from within here, they like me, I'll probably be doing her job for the next few months during the transition, and they can probably pay me less, so I've got a shot. Unfortunately, there's just this idea that librarians aren't librarians yet if they're not credited.

Unless you work for the government, there are ways around this. Even if you do work for the government, there might be ways around it. Unless there is another internal candidate who has the desired credential, I'd think they could do something like make you "interim" whatever and once you've got the degree, the "interim" would drop.

Coincidentally, our library director is retiring at the end of this (academic) year. She was a master at university politics, so our library is in pretty decent shape as far as resources goes. Not only that, she was extraordinarily successful in garnering outside support for the library. She will be missed.

She is just mad that he's married now. I still haven't met a female Phillies fan that doesn't like him though.

Stephen King says maybe we should waterboard George Bush's daughter Jenna Bush and have her report to the President whether she thinks it is torture or not.

This is a teriffic idea. If we tortured Jenna Bush, we could extract important information like her wedding colors or the subject of her next children's book. You know things that are in our nation's vital interest.

There is a pic floating around the net of Jenna Bush changing her panties in public (It looks like it's at a beach) and you can see her twiz. Now that's class.

Aaaaaand it's not her, either, just someone who resembles her.

You'd think I would spend this time doing homework.

Also, some crackhead stole my toiletries; I've just been rinsing for a week.

On my way home, I'm stopping at CVS to buy a pair of tweezers and as much soap and/or shampoo as six dollars minus tweezers can buy! America fuck yeah

I just bought an 'empty' NDAS enclosure because after the rebate it was just 29 bucks. Box was awful heavy. Turned out they screwed up- it wasn't an empty enclosure, but an enclosure that had a 300GB drive in it. Yay me.
